Abell 30 (RGB, HO) The "Born Again" Planetary Nebula

Abell 30 Planetary Nebula:

A truly strange and fascinating planetary nebula. Consisting of a spherical hydrogen and oxygen emission shell stripped off and expanding for the last 12,500 years. The central star was "Born Again". During this born again phase the star expelled helium and carbon rich material in streams forming a flower like structure in the center of the shell.

The detail in my image , on the right, compares well with these images that combine optical Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images with XMM-Newton and Chandra X-ray data, on the left.

One of my favorite planetary nebula...

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
